You know all those drips of batter that fall onto the griddle while you're struggling to form a perfect pancake disc? Did you know that they are not only edible, but also delicious? Did you know that they fit in your hand?! Mastermind and future chef August Babel unlocked the destiny of pancakes with this resourceful innovation.

this recipe.

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 beaten egg
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tbsp cooking oil

Directions

1. Sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center of the dry mixture to later add liquids
2. In another bowl combine the egg, milk, and cooking oil.
3. Add liquid mixture to the dry mixture. Stir just till moistened (batter should be lumpy).
4. Pour about 1/4 cup batter onto a hot, lightly greased griddle or heavy skillet; making sure to splatter batter about the hot surface (these are your mini pancakes!).
5. Watch the little splatters until they begin to brown on one side, then flip. These will be done when each side is brown.
6. Cook the large pancake disc over medium heat about 2 minutes on each side or till pancakes are golden brown, turning to second sides when pancakes have bubbly surfaces and edges are slightly dry.
